Bpecisl TO the indianapolis Journal
New YORK, Juno 4-The labor parade and
honor Of editor O'BrieD. was, In point OF num-
bers and enthusiasm, one of the most significant
demonstrations that has been witnessed in this
rity for many years 1t is estimated that fully
trades and natonaiites. participated in
the parade, while four times that
number assembled along the line of
march and in Union square to witness the
parade and listen to the speeches. The process
sion formed shortly after O'Clock on both sides
Of Fifth avenue, from Thirty fourth street to
Twenty sixth street, and on Lexington and
Madison avenues. 1t was nearly $50 before the
head of the procession began to move, in the
following order: Mounted police, Sixty ninth
Regiment under com mand OF Colonel Cavanaugh,
accompanied by band of 100 pieces.
Shortly before the procession began to move it
was whispered around that Mr.. OBrien had
changed his mind and would not take part in the
demonstration, and shortly after official
message TO that effect sent to the grand
marshal. who ordered the procession to move.
The line of march was down Fifth avenue to
Seventeenth street, to Broadway, and past the
reviewing stand. Among the trade organizations
md societies that took part in the parade
were the United Order of American Carpenters
and Joiners, furniture workers, brick-layers'
union (about two thousand strongl, cigar max
ers' union forty sections of different trades from
The Central Labor Union, pano-makers union,
about twenty divisions of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. stages and carriages containing Ia
dies. District Assemblies IS and 40, X. of L.,
slate and metal-roofers' union. The parade was
divided into about dozen divisions, each of
which was headed by a band of music or drum
corps.
1t was o'clock when the head of the process
sion reached Union square. AT that time il
was estimated that there were fully q. 900 per-
sons in the square between Fourth avenue and
Broadway. The reviewing stand was decorated
with Irish and American flags. In the center of
the stand were the words. Welcome William
oBrien.n Among those on the platform were
DIR. McGlynn, Judge Tucker, Robert Biz
bert, Patrick Sarsfeld Cassidy and
large number of the labor party
Much disappointment was felt at the

said that on the success of the movement in Ire
land depended. to q certain degree the fate of
suffering humanity all over the world He
slaimed that the land cannot by any law, be
made the property of any number of individuals.
There were cries, Now for OBrien," and the
speaker announced that Mr.. O'Brisn, at the last
moment, decided to stay away. The announce
ment was received with groans and Kisses
DR.. McGlynn, who was received with thunders
of applause. said they had met in the air be-
cause they knew no building would hold the
vast multitude. They could not blame Mr.
O'Brien 80 much as those who had persuaded
him to stay away. Those who had advised him
TO stay away, and who had tried to dictate who
should preside at the meeting had shown exceed
ingly bad taste. Although it was to be regretted
that Mr. OBrien was not present, there were
enough Irish at the meeting to enjoy the wake
with or without the corpse. IGreat cheering
Speeches were also made by Rabbi Browne,
Mr.. Archibald and others and after resolutions
of sympathy with Mr.. O'Brien in mis- work
against iandlordism had been adopted, the meet
ing was brought to a close.
Among the resolutions presented was the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That we proclaim it the God-g right
of every people to govern themselves without in
1erference dictation whatever. and that de
ing in the British Parliament and the threats of
communication from Italy against patriotic priest,

condemnation of hbertyloving men'the world over.
Mr.. O'Brien opposed this resolution, and re-
quested tie committee of arrangements omit

Ject the resolution. and, it is said for this
OBrien refused to accept the honors proposed.

BERLIN. june 4.-Since the divisions in the
French Chambers have shown that the Right
intends to give a solid vote for the Moderates,
the North German Gazette, the kreuZ Zeitung
and other governments organs are brimming over
with articles rejoicing in the prospects of peace
and evince optimistic tone generally. The
reported to be OF q less hopeful tenor regarding
the length of existence of the Rouvier Ministry,
but no note of distrust of its stability is allowed
to be heard In the official press It is assumed
that the spirit of chauvinism is for a long time
at rest with the retirement of General Boulanger,
and that peace is assured for an equally long
time. The leading motive of these pacific utter

better relations with France, but to make a
sumption of the entente with Russia more easy.

was asked for how long n time peace was
cured His answer was: "For this year, and.
If the Gar meets the two emperors in the
autumn and consents to sign treaty of alliance,
probably for five years"
The nature of the Russian response to Prince
Bsmarck's overtures, however is doubtful. The
assertion of the Kreuz Zeitung regarding the
restoration of friendly relations with Russia is
borne out by no apparent fact On the contrary,
the Pan Slavst press contnu es to display hostility

everywhere in Russia continues
abated. The latest instance of Russian
exclusivism affecting Germans is the proposed
law of naturalization which has just been sub
mitted to the counsel of the empire. NJ Katkoff
urges the government to make the conditions OF
naturalization difficult of performance that
1t would be impossible for foreigners to become
naturaliZed citizens in order to make a fortune
and afterward to return home. According TO
NJ Katkoff, the industries of Russia now
strong that the government can dispense with
granting special privileges to foreigners or har

and one of its purposes is to pre-
vent naturalzed persons from leaving

ments of the official press toward Russia, but
Prince Bismarck 10 determined to conciliate the

TO considerable extent, soothe the irritation
and settle the differences that now exist The
first instance of this conciliatory policy is his
ceptance of the ukase restricting foreigners
rights in Russia. The Austrian Cabinet had
asked Germany to join in a protest against the
nkase. and In interview. on Monday. with
Count Szechenvi. the Austrian ambassador,
Prince Bismarck assented to common action
against the ukase. Count SZechenvi went, next
day, to Vienna, supposing tine affair had been
